Masked couple in nun habits rob Palos Heights bank

FBI investigators today revealed more details about the people wearing masks and nun habits who were behind a daring day time bank robbery in Palos Heights on Sunday.

The bank robbery happened at the TCF bank branch, 6410 W. 127th St., at 2 p.m., according to FBI officials.

Officials said today that one of the robbers was female and the other person was male. Both robbers were armed with handguns during the takeover robbery, FBI officials said.

The man is described as a black male with a light complexion and about 5 feet 7 inches tall. The woman is described as black also with a light complexion and about 5 feet 5 inches tall. The two wore gloves.

The robbers made off with an undisclosed amount of cash that was placed in a Nike duffel bag they took into the bank. No shots were fired, though two bank employees were threatened.

The two wore nun masks and habits similar to ones depicted in the movie "The Town," officials said. The people pulled out handguns and took over the bank and forced an employee to retrieve cash before they drove off in a light-colored newer model Chevrolet Impala, officials said.
